What Is Celebrate Recovery?
Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to address destructive or compulsive behaviors, unhealthy relationships, addictions (drugs, alcohol, food, pornography), anger, shame, codependency (addiction to people and control), past abuse and so much more. People can find freedom from any hurt, hang-up or habit that is making their life unmanageable.

What Happens At Celebrate Recovery?THERE ARE 3 MAIN COMPONENTS THAT MAKE UP THE CELEBRATE RECOVERY PROGRAM:

LARGE GROUP – This is where everyone meets together to hear either a recovery centered Teaching or a personal Testimony of a changed life. We consider this a “shoulder to shoulder” experience.

OPEN SHARE – This is the time we break into separate gender and issue specific groups where each person is safe to share their struggles and victories with others who share their similar hurts, hang-ups and habits. We consider this a “face to face” experience.

STEP STUDY – It has been said that “you go to a meeting to feel better, but you work the steps to get better”. Step Studies are a safe place to work through the Jesus-centered 12 Steps in a gender specific group. They are a minimum one-year commitment and meet on different nights of the week. It's a place where the “why” behind addictions and behavior can finally be uncovered and freedom can be found. We consider this a “heart to heart” experience.

The Positive Culture Framework Training, an annual event hosted by the Center for Health and Safety Culture, provides a foundation for those seeking to improve health and safety in communities and organizations. The 2019 Training will take place in downtown Nashville, TN on September 24-26, 2019. Attendees will learn how culture influences behavior; develop and refine skills in three critical areas: leadership, communication, and the integration of effective strategies; and, gain specific next steps for transforming culture to improve health and safety. The Positive Culture Framework Training provides an excellent opportunity for attendees to engage with others across the country and move towards cultivating a culture that supports and sustains health and safety. The Positive Culture Framework builds on shared values and beliefs that already exist in a culture and seeks to grow those over time. The Training addresses key skills (the how), steps in a process (the what), and the context for doing the work (the where). There will be multiple opportunities for open dialogue and discussion among attendees at the 2019 Training. Step-by-step handouts, interactive training sessions, and small group activities will provide attendees with an informative, engaging experience. The Training is designed for anyone working to improve health and safety such as (but not limited to) traffic safety professionals, substance misuse professionals, prevention specialists, violence prevention advocates, coalition members, government personnel, and law enforcement officers. Register before August 12th to get the early bird registration price! For more information and to register, visit www.CHSCulture.org/training.

“Addiction and Families“ will be presented on Tuesday September 24, 2019; 7:30pm-9:00pm, by Dr. Lynn Kleiman Malinoff, Ed.D.

Alcohol/other drug addiction is often described as a “family condition.” This program will describe ways in which each family member is affected by addiction in the family, roles and behaviors that family members often acquire when living with addiction, and options for family members to obtain help to cope with addiction in the family.

This program is part of the Dawn Farm Education Series, a FREE, annual education series developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information about substance use disorders, recovery, family and related issues; and to dispel the myths, misinformation, secrecy, shame and stigma that prevent people with addiction and their families from getting help and getting well.

All programs are free and open to anyone interested. Registration is not required. 1.5 hours of free C.E. approved by MCBAP (Michigan Certification Board for Addiction Professionals) is provided. A certificate to document attendance is provided on request. The Education Series is organized by Dawn Farm, a non-profit community of programs providing a continuum of services for people with substance use disorders.
